    I love the "asterisk" talk. 1994 you could make the argument, even though the Rockets were the only team with a winning record against Jordan's Bulls, and Jordan himself has said they had no answer on how to defend Olajuwon & Max was known for shutting Jordan down (as much as you can shut him down.)

    1995 is where this in BS. Not only was Jordan in the ECF that year, but he was second in playoff points (Olajuwon was first) They lost to Orlando because they lost Horace Grant. THAT should be the asterisk. Would Grant have stayed had Jordan not left?

    And I still think Stern put together the Rodman trade. Why would they trade him for a backup center? It was ridiculous. And OH, the Spurs just happened to win the lottery and get Duncan RIGHT AFTER the Jordan era was over.

    The spurs gave away Rodman
    That changed everything

    That’s like if we got Draymond green for Daniel house
